Virtual computing. Concept, design, and evaluation (Q2743242)

This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the concepts, designs and implementations of one visual computing environment, namely the Adaptive Distributed Virtual Computing Environment (ADViCE), which was developed to create an open programmable computing environment that supports the development, execution, visualization, and experimentation with large-scale parallel and distributed applications. ADViCe's objective is a step towards the ultimate goal of implementing a real virtual computing environment that provides ubiquitous open computing services in an analogous way to the services offered by Telephone and Electrical (utility) companies. The material includes coverage's of computing technology, metacomputing systems, scheduling algorithms, experimental results, prediction algorithms for real-time execution time with and without tuning functions.NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINEThis book is considered a starting reference work for researchers in parallel and distributed computing, supercomputing and networking professionals.
